But, for a bunch of unskilled 7th graders that are out there running around and into each other...maybe heed the coaches' advice...calling a foul on a kid that displaces another player, could be seen as a disadvantage, couldn't it?
Fair enough, however it was things like 6 kids in a big circle going up for rebounds, or they would be tied up for a jumpball and their was some swinging going on. Stuff like that. We called the basic stuff, the blocks, charges, the shot fouls ect. In fact both teams were in the double bonus in both halfs, we had something like 52 fouls. It was just a messed up game
52 fouls and they were asking for more? Sheesh, there was a very obvious problem here and it wasn't the officiating! Only thing you can do in a game like this is get in, get it done & get out......
